QuickBooks Asks for Posting Authorization

QuickBooks software contains sensitive data that should not be accessible to everyone, so QuickBooks is protected by security that requires any program attempting to read/update/delete data from the QuickBooks database, to authenticate itself.

When GiftWorks attempts to connect to QuickBooks it sends a message telling QuickBooks that it is GiftWorks that is attempting to connect

QuickBooks then asks the current user if it is ok to accept the request from GiftWorks. The user can choose to allow the access one time, or to always allow access to GiftWorks
